The Nawall Ahmed .linksl-, ?Khan, a nti the Au nail of the dis'iriet, with Other local officers of the Government of Ms Excellency the Vizier, as well as the native officers t)l the body guard and the escort, were also present. I lis Excellency the Governor-General entered the Dorbar tent at one o'clock, pteccded by the Secretary to the Governor-General and the Per sian Secretary to the Government, bearing re spectively the badge and decorations, and the statutes of the Order, and by the whole of his Lou dship's perst.nal Staff. Ills Lordship hav ing taken his seat, Sir David Oehterlony was introduced by Lieutenetut-Colonel Doyle and Lieutenant-Colonel 'Voting, with the usual forms, end having advanced to the edge of the carpet on hich the Governor• General's chair was placed, Lis Lordship rose and addressed !din in nearly the following terms " Silt Davin OcturcittoNT—T cannot figure to myself any occasion on which the high honour of representing the Prince Regent could be equally tiattering with this ceremony, in which he has deigned to order that I shall act for ilk Royal Person. The instruction has communicated to me a portion of the warmth with which the generous mind of his Royal High ness glows at every opportunity of encouraging; any eNort that tends to promote the glory of the British nation ; and I feel consciously elevated by the falfilinent of such a duty. You are to receive the honourable badge l‘ith which I :WI com missioned to invest yon as a recognition of your admirable seal, and of the advantages secured by that zeal to your country's interest. Such a public achnowledgement of your professional merit would alone be sunicient matter of pride; yet I have to congratulate you on what must be still more touching to your feelings. You have obliterated a distinc tion painful for the officers of the Honourable Company; arid you have opened the door for your brothers in arms to reward which their recent display of exalted spirit and in incible imtrepidity proves could (DA be more deservedly ex tended to the officers of any army on earth.'' The Govern.)r-Getter al then invested Sir David Ochterlony with the insignia of the Order, under a sahue of 13 gums. Al/uplifts, MA) , 2.—The following is an extract of a Wirt front Satorah Of Anti! 13 : " Authentic information lia6tg been received by Biigadiet-General Pritzler, that several ele phants (the property of Bajee Rao) had been taken to the vicinity of Porceed Gliur (a strong bill fort ill the Conean), a detachment was imme diately ordered to pursue them, eon:isting of 130 auxiliary horse, tinder Lieutenant 3 Wallace, of the rifle corps (who volunteered for that service), and 30 rank and file of the 'Madras rifle corps, un der Lieutenant Gtimshaw. This detachment marched on the evetting of the sth instant from Wousitttah, and contin ue (' t h e i r pursu i t until 12 o'clock the following morning : while halting at . a small village. for the purpose of watering their horses, a man of respectable appearance came up. and meodoned to Lieutenants Grimshaw and Wallace that he bad seen the elephant; the pie ceding day, and that they were only four cost from that village. On gaining this important in telligence, these two officers determined to halt for that night, and attack theta the next morning. Accordingly, at daylight they marched, and hav ing gone about thrve Coss, were inkrrined by a villager, that the enemy had made two barriers, the first having 150 men, and the second 200. The riflemen were now ordered to load, and fix swords, thinking, of course, they would meet with some opposition : but fortunately, on their approach, the enemy fled with precipitation to the surround ing jungle, without filing a single shot, and thus allowed this small detachment to pass their strong barriers without the least molestation. Having so far succeeded, they continued their route to the spot where these elephants were supposed to he, and arriving at the place, were given to un der:tand by one of the prisoners here taken by stir prize, that all the elephants had been carried a way one hour before, to avoid being captured by the English : the horsemen were now in their turn called into play, and Lieutenant Wallace, without a moment's loss, started after them with 140, leaving 10 horsemen with Lieutenant Grim sham (tvlin followed with his rifles) to keep open the eoriontioication. After a hard gallop of five Lieutenant Wallace overtook and captured IS elephants and two camels ; they have (strived in camp, and have been delivered over to the prize agents ; they are remarkably fine animals, and their valoe computed at about 30,000 rupees. " General ['ritzier marched front hence yester day with his Madras division, to join General Monto ; he has, however, taken the Bombay 7dl Regiment, with a hi igade of IS-pounders and one laiLytdc or heavy mortars," MAY 6. Bajee Rao, the late Peishwa, bas now become the pi iucipal object of interest in the present posture of affairs, and indeed the only apparent obstruction to the general pacification of tl:e ccutre of loam. itlllllolll Lad last week rude,- [ - rifled his force to optrr;l•iis of a lititl;ile(i men, and represented hivamaving rapidly on Nag pore, but further accounts have divested him of this formidable appearance, and reduced his fol lowers to little more than a tenth of their reported number. (.3noput Rao, one of the Sordars of the Na pore Rajah, with nearly 10,000 Mahrattas, appearn to have effected a . junction with liajee Rao, nearly at thr same period that Mr. Jenkins discovered the correspondence and the treachery that tea. going on for the purpose of overthrowing the British power at the Coott of his master, — himself is understood to have with him libwAt 12,000 horsemen an d a dh e lenti of all sorts, and the topposed object of his marching in the direction of Nagpore was to emancipate the Rajah from ttte restraiA which his former conduct bad rtudered it necessary to impose upon him, The pe riod of his military operatious is however now drat...ringlo g close, and he has hut little time on his hanilSiellfrwr effect flinch of an offensive nature, orTh secure hi. retreat from the forces in pursuit of him. 'Die comTheneement of the rains will soon in terrupt his exit by the Nerhuddalt, am, confine him to a countiy where he can have no chance of escape. licigittliet -Generals t_Smith and Pritzler are now positing arrier him to the eastward ; and though he succeeded in doubling back and avoid ing our troops, when to the south of Poona!), a short time agret,,, it is not likely that he will be so fortunate again. Chouraglior and Mundlah are in the hands of .t!frtictory Killadars, and still more refractory garrisons ; but if lie attempts to unite with either of these places, or cornea to the resolution of throwing himself into a tort, tifiw , - ever impregnable it may he considered, his career is at an end. As a fugitive, his political exist cure may he prolonged, and he will probably maintain that character till he is finally overtaken and subdued. _ . By the last accounts, Colonel Adams continued at Nagpore, and it was supposed that no attack woold lie made upon Chouraglinr or Mondial) till the ei-deennt Peishwa is disposed of. It is said that the Resideut had offered the Kill.olar and garrison of the latter place '25 000 rupees, in p a rr payment of the arrears due to them from the Rajah's Government, but no definitive answer had been received. We have no intelligence respecting the progress of the Rajah to Allahabad. Hsppily all the hill forts and strong places, about 16 in number, which w e re dependent on Saugor, have surrendered without firing a shot, ant! all the country north of the Nerbuddah is now in a state of tranquillity.—kCalcutta Go vernment Go:rite.) The Marquis of Hastings passed the Gogra on the 31st of March, over a bridge of boats con structed for the occasion. On the sth of April the camp of his Lordship was at Koberah. MArraAs, lay 9..—Notice has been given from the Government Batik " that the Right Hop. the Governor in Council has been pleased to di rect, that the interest charged for accommodation either on loans or discounts to the public, will be 10 per cent. front the 7th instatr until farther orders.** (From the Bombay Courier, April 11.) lirieate accounts, dated Camp Ongein, 29th Match, we are informed, iliatCheetoo, atter going to Bopaul to make conditions with Captain Head• Icy for deLvering himself np, suddenly deal, and has, it is reported, gone hack to his obi haunts near Baglee and Ragooghtir ; in consequence of which the force at Ougein was to march that day towards lettiore, and send out detachments after him ; the battalion at llin lia would also furnish a detachment towards Oonchode. The letter fur ther states, that the troops of Jean Baptiste hav ing mutinied, and deposed tbat leader, had elected Arratoon, the Armenian, in his stead. We are happy 10 learn from the saute source, that every thing was perfectly quit in Malwa. Reports say that Bajee Rao's chiefs are daily retiring with their followers : some time ago his army was said to consi"st of only 25;000 men, and w e have reasosi to suppose that it does not con sist of half that number at present. Out of the 36 strong holds that by the native accounts are in the Deckan, we may alt catty reckon 30 of theta in our possession, and calculate that when it 'wilier 50 surrender, we way call the whole our own : cuch is the numerical exaggeration of our Ilindoo friends, (From the Ceylon Gazette, April 25.) The absence of the rebel chiefs from Ouva pro duced a temporary tranquillity in the neighbour• hood of liaclitlla ; fit the vicinity of Godeagamma the rebels had attacked our escorts with snitch fury, and on one of those occasions, on the 2d instant, Lieutenant Woke, 2d Ceylon Regiment, was severely wonnded ; 2d Lieutenant (fray, of the Ist Ceylon Regiment, was on similar duty between ilallialle and Ilanweile on the 12th April, and wounded through the lace, but was lett at Taldenia, and reported by the medical officer to be doing well. The addition of troops to the garrison of Candy gave an opportunity of disturbing the rebels who had strongly entrenched the..mselves in the exten sive villages of Arawe and Godamoone, situate in Ilewahetty, abort nine miles from the capital, in a rich and beautiful country, hitherto not visited by cur troops : three small divisions moved on these places ; two Irons Candy by different routes under Lieutenant-Colonel Hardy and Captain Fraser (of the Staff), and one trout Goneeamme, under Captain Drew, 73,1 on every road were numerous abbattis and thorngates at intervals, which prevented any surprise no the inhabitants of the villages, and who consequently escaped, leaving large stores of grain and cattle to the dis posal of a detachment which was posted at Goda !lionise under Captain Fraser. The rebels on the tipper part of the seven holies and Toompane are reported to be assem bled in force on the borders of the Korles, but the precautions taken to guard the last valuable and faithful province have as yet prevented any hruption into it ; and in the various movements of our forces its advance, the rebels have sustained considerable loss. Detachments also made from the force at liornegnlle have equally punished the presumption of such insurgents as were iii its Beigbbourliood. isnoviNcht, JOI_;IINALS. [Frf,m The (Du/di,) CaTesporrlent.] Ff sonie of nor fellow Joucnalists appear to have pronounced precipitately npon the nature of the dispute between Spain and her Colonies, as well as upon the object of the reference which this Power has made to the Allied Sovereign!. The right of Spain over her Colonies-is not 'a question turniog upon the legality of compitst , whougli that is a very ancient, and a very 4eneral title, by the way, anti to nine-tenths of the pos ses.irms of the world at least. The modern Re pohlicaos of America do not presume to set np any other in the claims to the lands of their Indian neighbours. Hit without very deeply into ! I this subject, was. apprehend. the title of Spain to her Colonies cannot at this day be well impugned, upon any defect presumed to inhere in it, on ac count of tier having conquered the South Ame rican Provinces, before she colonized them—before she sent her people to settle the!ts, and, with then), transplanted thither her religion, langoage, and I ws, :not all the demonstrations of her sove reignty. It is with the descendants of those peo ple that the qoestion now in lite is to he settled ; those who were protected by her power—who spread, under her care, into a populous and pros perous race—those whose very ability to contend with her arms Is the evidence of her losOng watched over their interests, and consulted all the metros of their greatness. Whether the American subjects of the Spanish Crtewn may have been more prosperous or powertul under windier sys tem, is not the exit into goes' too ; nor can it ever be a question--tor there is nothing certain to which it may be referred. That they are prospe rous and powei fill is most evident, or they could not have supported their pretensions, unaided by any rower in the world, for so long a time. There is oo question of problematical felicity arising out of the relationship between a Sovereign and any part of his subjects. Whether the Spanish American would he more happy in one situation than ii) another, is a very hard matter to decide in any case, but, in the present, which is a pure political case, this conjectural 1,1,11)161:5s is not involved. If civil subordination—it allegiance to a Sovereign, were to cud when a Colony began to grow ambitious, or a people to fancy that they may be happier io a new situatioll, there would be scarcely such a thing as tebellion. An appeal to arms—an array against the Sovereign—a owning of his autholity, and a renunciation of the lams of the state, would he only a pursuit a t. ter political felicity—a mere speculative project, and one which, atter all, could plot be decided by either result, by success or by defeat. " We cannot partake of any of those appre hensions which our contemporaries profess at the idea of England entering into a contest with the Smith Americans—beciuse we are quite sure that England will not act so absurd a part. As a member of the Confederacy for maintaining peace, and conseqountly fur liberating European ,ociety from the burthen of taxation at no distant time, Etigirtod may, in that capacity, join it) insis:ioa upon ihe Insurgents accenting of terms, lair and just in themselves, and productive, to them, of vast advantages ; but, if there be any thing itn probable, it is England's becoming so rash a Quixotie as to ondertalse, of burst +, to bring the South Antericaus to reason. At first sight, and as men are apt to view political transaction. that are of a no%cl character, one would he inclined to call the intervention of the Allied Powers, in the case referred to them, as an unauthorised and unlicensed interference. But the world wants peace, and most have it ; and there is no other mode of (lee' hug this great purpose, but by the great Powers compelling those who fly to arms to deride their controversies—to submit them to mo d e r a ti o n anti equity, and to abide any arbi tration which may he made upon such principles. The frequency of wars has laid the entire mass of Loropean society miler it load of taxation ; there is no mode of relief imaginable, that is safe and h onest i n itself—jost in its end, and valid in its effects—save to ita may follow from the mainte nance of a long peace ; sod, when the Allied Powers interpose, resolved to preserve the peace which they so miraculously brought about, they are only advocating the general ease, comfort, and happintss of the world against the specula tions of a few desperadoes, who would embroil it for a fanciful expectation that they may he better after a Rebellion than they were before it. If the Allied Sovereigns do no more than avert war for twenty years, they will he the greatest benefactors to the human race that ever exilted ; and there is no portion of mankind which can possibly enjoy so large a share of the good effects of continued and inveterate peace as the people of the United Kingdom. Levellers and tiema gogues have, for many a day, been accusing So vereigns of going to war, and squandering the blood and treasure of their people, to gratify in dividual and personal objects. The Sovereigns of Europe are about to falsify, by their practice, this extreme imputation. They have confederated for peace—to save the shedding of blood, and the expenditure of public wealth. Let none oppose such a noble design—let the Sovereigns proceed, in this moral and virtuous career, uncaltiumiated --unresisted by ridicule, by derision, or by so phisity ; and, though the ambition of the Spanish American Chiefs he even frustrated, as a conse quence of the mediation of the Soveteigns, yet the world roust gaits considerably, notwithstand ing." ANTIQUE FRAGMENTS.—There have recently been discovered at Sonlosse, on the premises of NI. LEucols, several shafts of columns, and some capitals enriched with leaves of the acanthus, and several long bricks, flat, and edged like those which cover the beat•conductors at N,isium. The pedestals of the columns, of which some were erect, and others overturned, were from 16 to 24 inches in diameter, and rather more than three feet in height. The capitals were only for those columns of 16 inches diameter.
